Cervinia

Cervinia doesn’t have it’s own summer ski area but you can access what is known as the Breuil-CerviniaValtournenche-Zermatt area, which is the same area you access from Zermatt in Switzerland.

It’s as much as a pain to access the area as it is from Zermatt, and involves 2 gondolas and a cable-car, and the journey time will take around an hour. However you’ll save around 10 euros a day on your lift pass compared to the criminal price they charge in Zermatt. A lift pass costs 40 euros for a day and 178 euros for 6-days

The area is open 365 days a year, but access to it from Cervinia closes at the end of the regular season and reopens on 27th June
